Comments Please: New MEPIS Store
Hi All,
You may have noticed there is a "New Store" item in the top menu of mepis.org. I've wanted to do this for over a year, but I never had the time. Please take a look at it and leave your comments. In particular I'd like to know if you think the prices are reasonable or if you have any ideas for additional products or changes to the products. I don't mean additional versions of MEPIS, you've given me lots of input on that through the poll.

Cipherfunk Shutdown by GPL Police
Update
Matthew Garrett has requested that you look at the email he sent to cipherfunk and judge it for yourself. It can be viewed at http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/polite_note.txt To me, it sounds like Matthew was being polite and reasonable. Other GPL advocates could learn a thing or two from Matthew's example.
xserver-xorg-core upgrade
We are getting some reports that upgrading xserver-xorg-core to version 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10.3 is causing some systems to fail after upgrading.

Thank you for your patience while we resolve this issue.

A Note to MEPIS Testers
Thanks to everyone in the community who has given feedback and submitted bug reports! Keep in mind that if you are testing for MEPIS, it is best if you do not update from the pools. We have no way of knowing whether a problem you report exists in the OS or if it is a result of an update from the pools.
Fix for Intel 915 Sound Problem
I've found a solution to a problem with audio on the Intel 915 boards. I don't know if this is the only problem.
The mixer for hda-intel is very odd. The master volume has no affect. This means that unmuting the usual volume control and turning it up does nothing.
Call for Web Designers
The MEPIS websites need a facelift and we need your help to do it. If you are a web designer and would like to help us, we would love to talk to you. We need people that are creative, like to work with a group, and most importantly have some time to spare.
